Assassin's Creed Shadows has exploded onto the scene, exceeding all expectations and achieving remarkable success in a short timeframe. The game's launch has been a resounding triumph, breaking franchise records and attracting a large player base across various platforms, including Steam.

This positive reception comes after a challenging development period marked by delays and controversies.  The cloud of uncertainty that once surrounded the game has dissipated, replaced by enthusiastic support from players.

Overwhelmed by the positive response, the development team at Ubisoft Quebec took to Reddit to express their sincere gratitude to the Assassin's Creed community.  They shared their joy at witnessing the players' reactions and emphasized how the outpouring of support has fueled their commitment to further enhance the game.  The team also hinted at more exciting content to come, stating that this is just the beginning for Assassin's Creed Shadows.

The overwhelmingly positive reception stands in stark contrast to Ubisoft's initial concerns.  Anticipating potential backlash, the studio had established an anti-harassment plan to protect its developers.  Fortunately, the launch has been met with far more positivity than anticipated, and Ubisoft Quebec is deeply appreciative of the community's embrace.
